Two things which fascinate me are the ways in which we logically or illogically argue
and how our observations can succumb to certain biases. If you routinely study
the styles of argumentation which people reason from and then reverse engineer
their language, you start finding the fallacious thinking and bias that drives
their outlooks. The best examples of when this is on parade are discussions concerning
politics or religion, however, they also permeate the minutiae our daily
conversations as...
Italy is worried about ISIS invasion.
~History doesn't repeat itself, but it does rhyme.
Whether this little nugget comes to fruition or not it is mind-boggling that in the 21st century, Italy is worried about a mainland invasion from ISIS. This is not exactly a historically correct statement but its seems the Moors might be knocking on Italy's door once again.
From the Daily Beast,
ROME — Last weekend in Italy,...
John Podesta tweets about UFO files.
Ok...admittedly this is from the land of kooky and obscure but John Podesta, former Bill Clinton Chief of Staff and present Hillary Clinton campaign manager, yesterday sent out a strange tweet concerning UFO's.
From Liberal Values,
Weird...lol!
But I must admit....I share Podesta's infatuation with ET. This isn't to say that I go around chasing UFO reports or that...
The Contradiction of Leftist Opinion: Scott Walker, Tom Cotton, et al
The liberal media complex is usually singular in its vision--agitprop. Push the meme, secure the front against argument, then debilitate opposing viewpoints with ridicule. A very to the point mechanical process that has been honed through years of practice and study.
But sometimes the meme's get tangled and the realism of their untruth reveal the true intentions of its propagators.
One...
The Post-Truth Perception of the Political Liberal
Sometimes you have to question contemporary knowledge about our history and past. When we get so wrapped around ideology and start to warp historical facts and truth in order to sustain our own context and perspective of our world, the truth becomes non-existent. From then on we live in a world that is simply pure abstraction and no longer real.
Case in point a few days ago, Lawyer, Guns, and Money contributor, Eric Loomis's observed that Fox News contributor, Tucker Carlson, is either...
Tu quoque, Barack, tu quoque?!?!?!
Within the world of
politics, especially in Presidential politics, every move, every word, every
action is a setup for scrutiny or condemnation from detractors. The significant
amount of the opinions expressed by critics of Presidents are usually mundane
low-brow expressions which are made more for personal gain or as an attempt to
validate the critic’s existence than legitimate fault finding. So is the case
with the examination of the President’s commentary at the annual National
Prayer Breakfast...
Rand Paul and Anti-Vaccinations
You can color me astounded! Never in million years would I have believed that the “Anti-Vaxer” movement might gain a life of its own and actually be something that could shape the political landscape of the 2016 Presidential contest. But...it looks like that might be what is happening.
Senator Rand Paul has weighed in on the issue of compulsory vaccinations. From his viewpoint vaccinations can leave children with "profound mental disorders" and that mandatory immunization is an example...
